Alex Kirilloff Hits The 10-Day Injured List
5 months agoThe Minnesota Twins rescinded first baseman Alex Kirilloff's (back) option to Triple-A St. Paul and instead placed him on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a back injury. Kirilloff has been dealing with back and nerve issues. He underwent an MRI exam on May 26 but didn't want to come off the field. Based on the nature of the 26-year-old's injury, it's fair to expect that he won't be back in the big leagues for beyond 10 days. And once he is healthy enough to return, Minnesota could elect to send him back to the minors after opening the year with a rough .201/.270/.384 triple-slash line with only five home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and 47 strikeouts in 178 plate appearances over 57 games played. Kirilloff should probably be left to the waiver wire for now in mixed fantasy leagues, and he's unlikely to be back in the big leagues before the All-Star break.
